Margarita Pizza
There is something so good about a fresh margarita pizza. Maybe the simplicity. Maybe the cheese. Probably the cheese and the fact that there is nothing competing with it for attention.

| Veggie Packed Salad |
I like to serve this classic, simple margarita pizza with veggie packed salad - tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber and red onion. It makes me feel better about non existent nutritional value that the pizza provides.

Homemade Margarita Pizza
Pre-Made Pizza Dough*
*I bought this dough at Whole Foods, you can also go to any pizza place and ask for a round of dough. It typically costs about $2 for a large piece.
1 - 14.5 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 tablespoon of dried italian herbs (you can use any brand with oregano & basil)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil
parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
For the Pizza Sauce :
In a saucepan, saute the garlic on medium heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add dried herbs. Add in crushed tomatoes, salt and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 10-20 minutes.
For the Pizza :
On a floured board, shape dough into a round disk.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes (for 8 inch pizza). You may need to cook longer for larger pizza or thicker sauce.
Top with fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese.
